Royal Ulster Constabulary Male Constable's/Sergeant's Custodian Helmet With Blackened Queens Crown Night Badge, Size 7 1/8". Sn 10270 - 10270

A Royal Ulster Constabulary Male Constable's/Sergeant's Custodian helmet with blackened Queens Crown night badge. The R.U.C. was founded on 1 June 1922 out of the Royal Irish Constabulary (R.I.C.). At its peak the force had around 8,500 officers with a further 4,500 who were members of the R.U.C. Reserve. During the Troubles, over 300 members of the R.U.C. were killed and almost 9,000 injured in paramilitary assassinations or attacks, mostly by the Provisional I.R.A., which made, by 1983, the RUC the most dangerous police force in the world in which to serve. This is an excellent post WW2 male Constable's/Sergeant's helmet of the R.U.C. It has a perfect exterior finish with a black ribbed band and top 'dome' complete with the correct blackened Queens Crown night badge to the front. Inside it is in excellent condition with a leather sweat band over side cork inserts for extra comfort and a string adjustment cord and chinstrap. It has a size "7 1/8" and "3 68 8265" in white inside along with a black ink stamp on the sweat band "7 1/8". The price includes UK delivery. Sn 10270
